Headache and Neck Pain

Headaches and neck pain are very common reasons for consulting a physiotherapist. Many people live with them for months or years, even though medical tests show no significant injuries.

And that does not mean that there is no room for improvement.

Sustained tension, overload, stress, fear of movement, postural habits or a more sensitive nervous system can cause pain to reappear time and time again, limiting your daily life, your concentration or your rest.

In this consultation, we work to ensure that pain no longer takes centre stage in your life, not just to relieve it for a while.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is neck pain always the cause of headaches?

Not always, but often the neck has more influence than it seems. That is why it is assessed holistically.

Can physiotherapy help with migraines?

In many cases, it can help reduce the frequency, intensity, or impact on daily life, so yes.

What if I have had pain for years?

It is not too late. The approach is also adapted to long-term processes.

Is massage alone enough?

Sometimes it helps, especially at the beginning or during times of high stress and pain, but it usually works better when combined with more active treatment.
